I eat when i'm feeling down

Each time i feel lonely or fusturated or stressed I find myself eating non stop. Like I can't really control it. I don't know why I do it, it's something that I try not to do but each time I find myself in a rut I just eat!

    Try exercising instead of eating. It keeps you feeling better for longer.

    This is most common in girls, it's normal. When some people get depressed or frustrated (or for some other reasons as you stated) they eat. It is completley normal. Eating is just a way someone might cope wth stuff.

    Some people can't eat when they're down. How I would love that. Eating causes the feel good chemicals in your brain to be released. I really hate myself afterward. Try to compensate by eating less the next day or go for a walk. I also binge when I'm tired b/c I feel bad.

    I think it's normal. I used to do that when I lived far away from my family and friends. I had a date with Rolo Icecream every night! Got pretty chubby, but now that I'm back where I belong (in my home province), all is well.

    Stress eating is definitely norma,l but not ideal. Unfortunately, I always find I feel better as I'm doing it, but worse after the fact.
